The orchards, part of the New York State Agricultural Experiment
Station, are essentially a 50-acre lab devoted to developing apples that
are tasty for consumers and hardy for farmers. The station has released
66 apple varieties over more than a century including Cortland, Macoun
and two new entries at farm markets this fall: SnapDragon and RubyFrost. (AP Photo/Heather Ainsworth) ORG XMIT: NYHA201
